Hi Scott,

Nuts. Well, if I have to, I have to. How about this as a starting
point for discussion?

6.5.9.3 Excepting Multiple Discrete Network registrations, ARIN shall
register no more than one address block of each prefix-length for any
single organization.

6.5.9.8 ARIN shall allocate IPv6 address blocks to an organization's
second and subsequent discrete networks (section 6.11) in exactly and
only the following prefix lengths: /40, /32. ARIN shall manage the
allocation pools such that the pool identity serves to classify
whether or not the allocation is for a second or subsequent discrete
network.


I dropped the lower end of the range because I think for now we should
discourage folks from running lots of tiny networks. I dropped /24
because I expect /24 to be modestly disaggregable and want to see if
it turns out that way before including it for MDN's. So, the
single/multi homed classification vector gains a third stop: MDN.

Regards,
Bill Herrin
